Pecan Goody Cups Recipe

Reviewed on Nov. 21, 2012 by LAADYLEXUS

3 of us made this recipe. It only makes 36 cups and that is being very skimpy with the filling. Used Wilton 24 mini cup pan.

I was disappointed because I was expecting these to taste like pecan pie. They're just OK tasting to me.

I've been making these for 38 years...one of my favorites...I chop my pecans first , easier to get pecan in every bite

These were excellent, everyone loved them and asked for the recipe. To the reviewer that was upset because the person did not say how much to filling to put in the tarts, I only have one comment. Common sense and eye balls would tell you!

I've been making these "Pecan Tea Tassies" for 40+ years. They are my oldest son's favorite "Christmas Goodie".

One of my fav recipes! I bought a Taste of Home magazine and decided to try out some recipes. This was one of them. It is easy to make and so delicious. (It's something about the cream cheese crust!) Everyone I have made it for really likes it too and wants me to make it for every gathering.

My family loved these treats! Even my picky hubby! I followed the advice of "ani2951" and added more cream cheese with minced pecans in the filling. So good! my only mistake was not doubling the recipe...they were gone in a day and a half! :D

This was a great recipe. They are a great 'grab-n-go' kind of dessert. I made the recipe my own and changed it slightly by adding 1/2 cup crushed pecans and a teaspoon of vanilla in the filling to give it a little more depth. I also used a whole 8oz block of cream cheese in the crust. In reading others' comments I didn't have any trouble at all with them overflowing. I used a not quite full 18/8 Farberware scoop to help make sure I put the same amount in each one. They puffed up a little bit like a pecan pie but never overflowed. This is definitely a keeper, hence why I am about to make more this month. I made some last month and 4 dozen just went way to fast!

These came out excellent! I only filled them 3/4 and didn't have any problems with them overflowing. I'm adding these to my holiday cookie list.

The flavors were amazing. I was so surprised that a diabetic friendly cookie could taste SO good. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because although I greased the pans, they stuck terribly and about half of them ended up coming out mangled. However, a cookie should first and foremost taste good. This one does, so it's a winner I'll make again.

My sister found this recipe probably close to 20 yr's ago in TOH and has been in the family every yr. since. the mini muffin pan's that are shallower but little bit bigger around work the best for us. either way only fill cups 3/4 full as they do puff alot. also we sprinkle finely chopped pecan's on the bottom then put the filling over...they are time consuming but worth it....make assembly line, goes faster!

It is hard to judge as to how much filling to put in the cup. I ruined my mini cupcake pans. It would seem if you are gong to submit a recipe you would at least give some idea of how much filling to put in.

This is the first TOH recipe that I have had trouble with but I see that others have had trouble with these tarts overflowing. I actually had a fire in the bottom of my oven and could not finish baking them. I won't make them again. TOH: what could we be doing wrong that causes this problem?

I make these every year and they are really good. I use chopped pecans, though. I agree, it's hard to get the filling to not overflow. I make tons of cookies every year and these look great on my cookie plates.

Cojon, my mother is allergic to eggs also and I'm always trying to make something that doesn't have eggs in it. Can you tell me what your "Egg Replacer" is or contains?

Yes I will make again it is a recipy that I had lost and now found Thank You. If done right cream cheese will not overpower the tart

These are WONDERFUL - especially when still a little warm! The recipe is very easy to follow, is does take a little work but it is WORTH every ounce of energy!

Cream cheese overpowered the filling. Filling ran over the tops no matter how you tried to underfill. Not a keeper for me.

I read this recipe in the TOH in 2009 and have been making them since. Everyone always wants the recipe. This year I used a brown sugar substiute and I can't even tell the difference.

The crust was tasteless and dry; filling boiled over; preparation time was a lot longer than stated.

The filling overflows no matter if you fill them to the top or fill them halfway. They taste good, but they look messy because they overflow.

These are fantastic! Was looking for something simple for Christmas when the kids and grandkids come over. Made just two revisions. Since I'm allergic to eggs, I used the "Egg Replacer" equivalent for the two eggs and I also used chopped pecans. They went fast, and it was just my husband and myself.
